Chords: Bb (barred) on 6th fret, F (barred) on 8th fret, D# (barred) on 6th fret

(verse)

bed clothes, why am i in bed clothes?
		 
watching out the window
watching what i don't know
              
on the fire escape now 
hands they start to shake now
                        
ready for the rail to break now
and i'm awake at last awake

cursing, rattling and cursing
                     
go ahead and do your worst then
			
your worst that i can take

CHORUS:
	   	     
oh let the rain fall down
			  
and wash this world away
                   
oh let the sky be grey
                                 
cause if its ever gonna get any better
                          
its gotta get worse for a day

(verse)

morning, where am i this morning?
                
now its really pouring, 
crawling up this shore 
           
and i walk the neighborhood 
and umbrella does no good
                       
and i guess its in my blood
couldn't stop the flood

drowning, everything is drowning
                       
go ahead and take the town
                     
the town is yours to take

CHORUS

                 
calling, calling, falling, falling
            
grab on my guitar
and paddle with both my arms
                        
headed where the voices are
                        
i'll end up far so far away

CHORUS

                      
its gotta get worse for a day
its gotta get worse for a day
its gotta get worse for a day
i know
its gotta get worse for a day
